Egil Egilsson

Egil Egilsson was a supporter of the Birkebeiners during the Norwegian Civil War. The son of Egil, he lost his father to the Baglers in 1204, and he and Skjervald planned to avenge their families. Egil ultimately fought off the Baglers, saving the life of the infant King Haakon IV of Norway as his mother Inga of Varteig took him to safety.
